[Sportschosun Reporter Jo Ji-young] Actor Kim Seon-ho wrapped up 'Bonjour Bakery' with his warm smile.
The final episode of Coupang Play's variety show 'Bonjour Bakery,' in which Kim Seon-ho appeared, was released on the 26th. Set in the country's first 'senior dessert cafe,' which opened in a quiet rural village, the show is a healing baking variety program in which older locals who know the taste of life and the bakery staff who know the taste of happiness share sweet comfort and warmth.
In 'Bonjour Bakery,' which had already drawn attention as a healing variety show before its release, Kim Seon-ho's easygoing charm truly stood out. He warmly welcomed the elderly customers who visited the bakery and served as the mascot of the dining area. With his unmatched friendliness, he brought smiles to their faces and brightened the bakery.
Kim Seon-ho also showed his diligent side by arriving at the bakery before anyone else to clean. Even after business began, he kept moving without a break and stayed focused on his work. He smiled throughout the busy service, and his cheerful presence was enough to make some elderly regulars come back just to see him.
His unfiltered wit, which appealed to people of all ages, completely won over the residents of Gochang County. His sincere charm brought warmth to the entire program and gave viewers a sense of healing.
As Kim Seon-ho fully showcased his hidden variety-show talent in 'Bonjour Bakery,' he once again made his presence felt on entertainment television, earning colorful nicknames each episode such as 'the nation's grandson,' 'the prince of the dining area,' and 'Manager Kim.'
Kim Seon-ho said, "I sincerely thank the many viewers who have loved 'Bonjour Bakery.' I think I will never forget all the time we spent together in Gochang. I still remember the moments when everyone welcomed us with bright smiles and happily enjoyed what we prepared." He added, "I was truly happy to be part of 'Bonjour Bakery.' Thank you again for creating precious memories that I will cherish for a long time."
Through 'Bonjour Bakery,' Kim Seon-ho showed a new side of himself through everyday life rather than a character in a scripted work. He delivered communication and empathy across generations, and expectations are rising for what he will show next.
